Whaddaya mean, "how it was made"? They didn't just set up a camera and film some dinosaurs?

Do you know if the class action lawsuit covers only books, not research papers? As far as I can tell the work needs to have an ISBN, which seems to rule out papers, but I am not a lawyer.

The penguins cover is much better IMO.

Do you know who the interviewer was? I don't see anyone credited by name.

Also, the ultimate unit (even more so than The Big Unit) is J. R. Richard.

The formula is 100*sqrt(p*(1-p)/n), where
n = the number of games (350), and
p = your true win% in decimal form (which is unknown, but you can use your best guess, 16.6% or .166).
Typical political polls have p near .50 and n around = 1000, which is how they get the ubiquitous ±3 margin of error.

I second this recommendation. I find this tutorial gives just enough but not too much detail, and I use it with students in my lab.

I think we also get distracted because we tend to anthropomorphize the larval stage as the child and the adult stage as the real animal. In some cases (not necessarily holothurians, but perhaps e.g. butterflies), it would be more appropriate to think of them as the eating stage and the mating stage.

Just listened to this, and I thought you were great. Love your enthusiasm!

I've been gratified to read the outpouring of love for Chuck Mangione, who by all accounts seemed to be a kind and generous guy.

Fun fact: Mangione had a pension plan for his band members, which is unheard of in the music business. More info at 10:15 here: youtu.be/825UjdUH464

This is so cool. I wonder if appendages in ancient shark relatives such as Falcatus and Stethacanthus could have had a similar function (although I believe these features are sexually dimorphic, so maybe not).

Land of Make Believe was my favorite as well, especially the epic performance on Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

My introduction was his 1984 concert to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Rochester, NY. It changed my life and made me a lifelong music lover.

Land of Make Believe is my favorite, too. Love the version on Live at the Hollywood Bowl.

I grew up in Rochester during his commercial peak. I saw him play probably half a dozen times; he was a huge influence on me.
